I used a compass to make my templates the size I want. I have about 400 yo yos of lace, satin, taffeta, tulle, cotton and linen. They're going to be part of my crazy quilts. You can make flowers out of them by stacking them on top of each other. These are great take-a-long projects. I like to use buttons for the middle for flowers. I've purchased clothes from SA and GW just because I want the button(s).
